It’s the most gut-wrenching, mesmerising and shocking clip of video footage imaginable.
Shot from the tiny camera in the helmet of champion skydiver Michael Holmes, it records with chilling clarity what happened when he plummeted 12,000ft to earth.
There is the moment when he tugs his ripcord and discovers his parachute won’t open. There are the frantic efforts to release it, made as he spins so fast that movement is almost impossible.
 
A statue of Jesus Christ is causing a sensation at an art gallery after witnesses said they saw sparks shooting from its eyes.
The sculpture, created by artist Brian Burgess, is on display at the Liverpool Academy of Art.
The steel and bronze work, titled ‘Cleansing of the Temple’, portrays an angry Jesus brandishing a whip ready to drive out the moneylenders from the temple.
Academy manager June Lurnie says its one of the most controversial works ever displayed there.
She added: ‘Some people have said the portrait is evil and they can see sparks in Jesus’s eyes. Others actually kneel down and go into a trance convinced they are connecting with God.’
Talk about a great and easy DIY project. However, I have a very bad habbit of losing my Chapstick.
